2010 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8L Diesel · WM10 AEP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its 2025-10-17 MOT at 98,400 miles, with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance trend reveals recurring failures in consecutive tests, including a 2025-10-15 failure at 98,396 miles and a 2024-10-15 failure at 79,835 miles, both without recorded defects. These results suggest inconsistent compliance with MOT standards, though the latest pass indicates corrective actions were taken. The absence of defect details limits insight into specific mechanical issues, but the pattern implies potential unresolved concerns with components such as emissions, suspension, or braking systems. The vehicle’s mileage of 98,400 miles aligns with its 16-year age, averaging 6,150 miles annually. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 14,067-mile increase between the 2023-10-05 test (65,032 miles) and the 2024-10-16 test (79,900 miles), followed by a 18,504-mile jump to 98,400 miles by 2025. Such rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components. The lack of intermediate MOT records between 2023 and 2024 raises questions about maintenance consistency, though the absence of defects in later tests suggests no critical failures were detected. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The braking system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as repeated MOT failures without defects may hint at intermittent issues. Structural integrity should also be verified, particularly underbody corrosion, which can develop in older vehicles. While the latest MOT confirms roadworthiness, the history underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to identify potential hidden faults not captured in the recorded tests.
